Angelina Jolie has always been outspoken about issues that matter to her, and now, for the first time, she's revealing a very personal one: her decision to undergo a preventive double mastectomy after discovering she carries the BRCA1 gene, which increases the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer.
'My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in each woman,' she writes in New York Times op-ed piece published in today's edition. 'Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much as I could.'
Jolie, 37, lost her mother in 2007 to ovarian cancer, and she explains in the article that her six children with partner Brad Pitt contributed to her decision to have the surgery--and now, she's speaking out about it to educate other women in her situation about their options.

Angelina Jolie’s essay about her choice to undergo a double mastectomy upon learning of her genetic risk was brave and generous. She writes straightforwardly, without a trace of self-pity, about her decision, which was obviously fraught and difficult on many levels. What rings through loudest is her commitment to her children, to be alive for them many years into the future.
That someone of her stature and visibility volunteers the information about her decision may remove some of the fear and stigma women might associate with such a dilemma. She has my admiration and gratitude for her courage and honesty.
It is very important for women to think about what they will do with the information they receive if they have the BRCA test to determine if they carry the gene that increases their risk of getting breast and ovarian cancer.
Though not knowing one’s genetic fate creates tremendous anxiety for any woman who has lost a close relative to breast cancer, knowing creates another dilemma: can she live without her breasts? If she can’t, then she must decide if knowing is better than not knowing.
